Overview
The International Journal of Law Management & Humanities is an online, bi-monthly, double-blind peer-reviewed journal of original scholarship in law, management and the humanities. It was founded with a deliberate purpose: to create a rigorous, fully indexed, open access platform where scholars from across the world, whether a student, a practising advocate, a sitting magistrate or a university dean, could contribute to legal and interdisciplinary scholarship on equal terms.
IJLMH was India’s first privately run law journal to be indexed in HeinOnline, which makes its publications available to researchers at 1000+ libraries, universities, government institutions, courts and organisations around the world, including those of Harvard, Stanford and Oxford. It was also the first to assign a Digital Object Identifier, free of charge, to every published manuscript; every DOI is registered with Crossref. Plagiarism screening uses Turnitin / Drillbit, without submission to the repository.
The Journal has published authors from 56 countries, among them Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record, High Court Judges, Vice-Chancellors, Deans, Professors, practitioners and students.
Publisher
IJLMH is published by VidhiAagaz, Madhya Pradesh, India, a publishing house founded to remove the financial and institutional barriers that keep emerging researchers from academic discourse. A Crossref member, VidhiAagaz also publishes IJLSI and ISBN-registered books.
From the Chairperson
“The founding conviction behind IJLMH was simple: every piece of original, rigorous scholarship deserves a platform, and that platform should be open, indexed, credentialled, and free at the point of submission. We built IJLMH to be that platform for law, management and the humanities, and we remain committed to that mission in our ninth year and beyond.”
